2. The girl thinks that some of the customs are strange. True
3. People from the ethnic group still follow the old customs, even in big cities. False

I come from a group which lives in the mountains in the north of the country. The village people wear very
simple clothes for normal days, but when there are festivals, they bring out really beautiful traditional
clothes with lots of bright colors and embroidery.
I go back to my village every summer to stay for two weeks with my grandparents, and they often do
something which surprises me. I ask them, ‘Why are you doing that?’ and they always say the same thing.
‘It’s the custom.’ I don’t understand! Of course, I live in the capital now, and even people from my ethnic
group do not have all these old customs anymore.
My grandparents always give me a gift for my parents. It’s usually a beautiful piece of cloth. All the women
of the villages in the mountains make bright cloth for skirts and headscarves. My grandmother also cooks
something special for me to take back to the capital. She always asks me what I want, and I can never
choose. All the ethnic cooking is wonderful, but it takes ages!
